Angry Birds Mine and Dine 3 Star Walkthrough Level 17-15

The best strategy for Mine and Dine level 17-15 is to lob the Yellow bird and accelerate through the TNT on the left side. With the White bird, bomb the left-side of the remaining structure and cause the bird to ricochet into the stalactites above the far-right tower. Fire the Yellow bird into the remaining tower or into the TNT on the right side. The score in the video below is 118,680.

If you have a different strategy feel free to leave a comment below; however, don't just
post your score via the comments, as that's what the leaderboards are for.

I think if you can drop the bomb on top of the right tnt(instead of over the top of the king pig), you can score higher than the video. This will explode the tnt and collapse the far right structure. I have been trying this, but unless you can get the tnt to explode the king pig in the middle, you have to use the yellow bird to get this pig.

This is basically what I did 1st bird like video crashes whole left side 50+k and @wanda has got the explanation down exactly right! If you can get the egg to ignite TNT on the right you’ll do it with 2 birds and a lot of damage!! The white bird flew up and knocked the 2 stalactites down causing even more damage from the right! Last 2 birds 10k each! gl

I’ve been spending some time down the mine trying to reach the score addict total and despite getting to withing 6k of it couldn’t nudge it up any higher, so I had a look in this thread. Got to the point where my first shot always hit the left TNT but never cleared enough to get a proper knock at the right TNT with white bird. Eventually got it and cleared the level in two but I didn’t quite catch the stalactites.

Thanks to all who’ve posted in here, specially @wanda for concise instructions :)

I like the 3 bird strategy a little better for the reason of knocking all the stalactites down. First two birds exactly like the video, better scores are obtained when the second bird is able to detonate the tnt and knock the far tower over to the right, at this point all pigs will probably be dead but there will still be the stalactite to the left and the black stalactite in the middle. Using your third bird to clip the bottom of the left stalactite and continue to hit the stalactite in the middle with easily yield you more than 10k and give you score of around 140k.

If you notice that after the eye of the miner pig closes, the wound changes into the shape of a downward arrow. It’s so obvious that I started clicking below the arrow, swiping, etc.,, but nothing happens.

I agree with Kidguy. It does look like a downward error, but if you look at the pig sideways, you’ll notice that it just looks like the natural shape of his blinking eyes.

I wished this was a Golden Egg though. I think Angry Birds needs to start putting Golden Eggs in places other than in isolated places or in treasure chests in levels. Many users have already found most, if not all, of the eggs that can be attained outside of the level.

Finally got it, and here’s how. I pushed all 4 birds in fairly quick succession straight over. Not much was actually destroyed, but I did manage to have 2 yellow and one egg-layer still in the pile by the can when the eagle came. Three birds + eagle = TD. There are other levels like that where it’s much easier if you can have the eagle hit other birds and use them for some of the destruction, but on this level it’s difficult to keep the other birds around long enough to help.

138830 using this 1bird .. dropped the yellow bird on the first TNT, whole thing fell apart .. the entire ship rocked towards right taking out the right most TNT, which helped the ship rock back to left, debris fell over king pin taking him out, the mast of the ship hit the steel tower, toppling that .. got lucky with this one .. ;-)

I have done that once or twice too. But that’s not how I got my high score. This is just a theory, but I believe there must be hidden stalactites or something beyond the far right viewing threshhold above ice blocks that you can barely see. Every time I hit that area, I dont see anything get destroyed, but I can hear what sounds like stalactite crashing into the glass. It nets me anywhere between 10,000 and 20,000 extra points, depending on how many of them fall. But no matter what I do, I can’t come anywhere near the top scores of 154,000+. I don’t see how that seems possible.

145k or so, two birds. Use the yellow bird, fire it towards the bottom of the closest stalactite. Speed it up so that it brushes the bottom of the first stalactite and causes it to fall, and the bird will continue on towards the next pair of stalactites at the back and hit one of them. Both TNT boxes should get hit by the falling stalactites, leaving you to kill the king with one white bird.

I had the previous high, using two birds, one up high, the second to finish the rest. I can try what you claim many times, but the stalactites in that way never get close to the TNT, neither side. Are you keeping screen prints of your highs? I always do in case anybody questions my score.

Used Beh H method. The two tnt’s exploded. Got the king with the second bird. 137,740. If I would have gone in flat to pick up the stalactites on the right, another 10,000 points could have been had. Took many 100’s of times to get both TNT.

Wasn’t having any luck with the one bird method. Instead I got 138k+ 4 times in about an hour. First two birds exactly like the video, except the second bird needs to push over the tower on the right. Then third bird use just like the one bird strategy and clip the bottom of the closest stalactite and continue on to the middle one, lots of points in these stalactites.

essentially used this method in a 2-bird variant. some details: 1st bird) shoot such that it hits the tip of the first stalactite if you speed it up when it is roughly level (derivative zero, this seems to increase the chances of hitting the rest). as described above this should take out both tnt’s (not so frequent, but not that infrequent).

in the case of my score (146,600) this led to total destruction of the `boat’ (including the king pig), but left the rightmost structure (with the pig on top) intact. then to destroy the rightmost structure i used my 2nd bird) shooting to the right such that the egg exploded near the structure, the bird taking out the stalactites. the latter fell on top of the structure which in turn fell flat (to the right) on top of the glass, generating plenty of points.

given the final level of destruction, i think the score is quite high for a 2-bird clean up, but also that 1-bird clean ups can achieve more points (150k?)

thanks for informing me @bonneypattycat. now got 153100/3 by continuing to bring all the stalactites down after getting what would have been a 1-birder; the egg of the 2nd into the debris taking down the two stalactites in the middle, and the 3rd high arc just below the rocks taking down the three stalactites on the far right (was playing for a 3-bird strategy as in the 2-bird strategy i had trouble bringing all three stalactites on the far right down just with the carcass of the 2nd). still, i now think it should be possible to bring all stalactites down with just two birds since during play this time twice the middle stalactites were brought down just by flying debris; if you’re then lucky enough to also bring down all three far right ones with the 2nd then a 160k+ score should be possible. this scenario would explain the 165k top score, which in the past i thought to be impossible; even flagged the score; sorry about that (lack of imagination; maybe someone has a better explanation/scenario? @jrsquonk , @mudshark-70 ?)

honestly can’t say whether the level has changed or not. my 146600 score was one of the first scores i entered for abo (i had started playing abo with mine and dine), dating back to 25 november 2012, and since that score had been in the top 10 ever since, i never played the level again. can’t even remember whether or not i that time had noticed the three stalactites on the far right, despite them already being mentioned in the comments. i do remember that i hadn’t been playing for them (indeed, the 146k score was without) finding already the 1st shot not so easy back then …

It took a lot of flings, but this one wound up working for me just like Ben H described. One difference though…after the deflated white bird flew off the screen, it hit something up high that was worth a LOT of points…like 15K or so. Stalactites maybe?

There is something off the right side of the screen, on the upper right but below the floating rocks. Whatever it is, it is worth 10-20K. I suspect that anybody with over 145K or so with 2 or more birds has gotten at least some points from this feature.

Check it out yourself. Use the first bird to clear the way, then send Matilda over, drop the bomb and let her ricochet offscreen on the upper right. Then watch the score go crazy.

I expect to see some more of you in the 150K+ club soon. There’s only two of us now and it’s kind of lonely…

When I am completely zoomed out, I can only see the far left portion of the third floating rock. I can’t see any stalactites. However, it seems like there is something like that out there. Can you see them? It may be a platform issue. I play on an Android tablet.

There you have it. Quite a difference from the Android, and that really puts us at a disadvantage. Of course, we probably have an advantage on other levels. I wonder if 16-13 has a similar issue. I can’t seem to break into the top 100 on that one to save my life.

16-13 is a bear. If you can see the second set of crystals, to the right of the top structure, you are seeing everything there is to see. Even if you can’t quite see it, that shouldn’t affect your strategy or score.

I am not seeing points from beyond the screen when zoomed out. However, this level seems much easier than in the past. In the past, I didn’t get beyond the high 130s, in the last 40 minutes or so, I have had several high 140s scores, and my current 153k. Something has clearly changed.

Assuming that you got Angry Birds through Android Market – follow these steps. 1. Go to Market 2. Select Menu and select My Apps. 3. Scroll to the app that says Update above the star rating, and select it. 4. You would be given the option to update. 5. You would have to select a couple of more things, and the update will download. You also have an option to auto-update.

i did this level like this 1:yellow bird:through the 2 planks of wood so he can destroy the right rope 2:white bird: quickly launch her so the egg can destroy the right tnt and the yellow bird gets blown up (results ALWAYS varies, that mean king pig may or may not be destroyed) 3:yellow bird 2:like the 1rst shot in the video 4:yellow bird 3:if the king pig survived launch him (if you think your score is low restart), if the king pig did not survived and the leftmost pig was defeated,bonus

A lot of interest in this one. One birder is the way forward for a high score. I got mine launching the yellow bird to just clip the bottom of the first stalactite and then on through the rest. It all happens very quickly after that. Right TNT exposes and then a chain reaction.

Used your method for the better part of an afternoon in order to get that high-scoring one birder. Ultimately, this did not happen, but apparently the persistence paid off and then some:

It seemed that whenever I launched YB just right and hit both stalactites, the TNTs would not explode or else one would explode but not the other. Finally, one launch broke both sets of stalactites AND both TNTs exploded. Held my breath as destruction commenced on the ship…the cement tower on the right fell away, good…but wait…King Pig was hanging in down there with debris on his crown and he survived! Could not believe it. I had 109K+ at this point. If the King Pig died, I would have had 114K + 30K bonus = 144K. I was dejected, but went ahead and zoomed in as to not mess up a fairly straightforward WB bomb blast on the top of King Pig. What happened, however, stunned me. I blasted the pig and the remaining debris with a not-too-high, not-too-low shot, and WB ricocheted off to the upper right corner. He took out the far right stalactites which in turn cleaned up some debris on the right side, and I ended up with 127K+! 20K bonus for total of 147K. I’ll take it!

First time commenter. Got 145,910 with 2 birds and it could’ve been higher. First bird like video, 2nd bird low, drop bomb on the grey stalagmites (the ones that come up from the ground) just in front of ship, bird ricochets up to gray stalactites above 2nd TNT.

Thanks @ Dr O’Neski. Used your tip but accelerated yellow bird on an upward curve to clip first stalactite then take next stalactites near where they join the rock. This way they seem to do more damage.

Thanks for the notice @bonneypattycat@Amslimfordy any chance of sharing the screenshot or getting some kind of insight onHow the score was achieved n like a hint to help others..that’s what the site is all about right? Members helping members..just sayin’

Sometimes it really needs three days for getting a decent score. I had success with the low arc into the first stalactite. Chuck also hit the second ones more right. The first TNT exploded and made nice destruction. Matilda then into the second TNT, which cleared the boat and hit the far right stalactites. Second Chuck into the tower which also fell nicely and destroyed a lot of water. Third Chuck as bonus.
